"The second compilation compiled and conceived by London-based illustrator Jake Blanchard continues on its strength of eclectic audio vibes paired with visual glory by an array of excellent artists. Eight artists were given a track and their finished artwork is based around their assigned track. With the previous CD release of Menagerie #1, there was only 100 copies available with the zine. But with this new issue, every single copy comes with a super-slick, pro-printed, full-colour zine of artwork from: Jake Blanchard, Pete Fowler, Will Sweeney, Andrew Rae, Sarah King, Solange Gularte, James Trimmer/Mirt, and Mat Pringle. This time the audio is appearing on vinyl only, with exclusive tracks from: Moon Duo, Natural Snow Buildings, Wand (aka Wooden Wand), The See See, Seadog, Joanne Robertson & Matthew Ashworth, Married In Berdichev, and Akron/Family. The pro-printed sleeve features artwork by Jake Blanchard. Heavyweight vinyl, with full colour labels. Edition of 500. Joint release between Blackest Rainbow, and Jake's new Tor Press label for zines and music."
